 Chapter I. READING YOUR REPORT

You must be having a lot of questions about your skills, personality and employability. AMCAT Employability
Report will not only help answer these questions, but will become your guide for deciding next steps on your
career path. It will tell you what to study, what interviews to prepare for and how to prepare. Refer to the
following tips to understand how to make this report a means to get closer to your dream job.

Start by referring to the 'YOUR AMCAT SCORE SUMMARY' chapter of your report. This chapter has all
the key highlights for you. You will get to know where you stand nationally in different AMCAT modules, a
snapshot of your personality and your employability in different job profiles and sectors. The summary
chapter is the key. You should understand everything in it to know where you stand in the job market. For
each section in the summary chapter, we mention the chapter having additional information about the
section. Wherever you are unable to understand or want more information, refer to the respective chapter.

The chapter 'Your Profile and Industry Fit' is very important. The following tips will help you use it to
make an action plan for next few months:

a. For profiles where your employability is high, you should start refreshing your knowledge for an
interview for them. You may soon get interview calls for these.

b. You might find certain profiles where you have high employability, but are not the ones that interest
you or you know much about. We will seriously recommend that you explore more about these
profiles, find information about them and re-evaluate your interest. These can provide you an
interesting career path which you may not have considered till now.

c. For those profiles where your employability is medium/low but interest you, understand your skill
gap and start studying to improve on these areas. You may get an interview call for some of these,
but you will have to work really hard to clear the interview. To increase your chances to get
interview calls in such profiles, you should improve on your skills and re-take AMCAT after three
months. The modules you should concentrate on for a profile is mentioned in the chapter V. A
better AMCAT score can improve your interview chance in these profiles.

Finally, this report can guide you on how to improve your weak areas. Refer to Chapter III to know within
each module, which sub-modules you need to particularly improve. Work on these. Refer to Chapter VI to
not only get helpful references to improve your weak areas, but also get a time schedule you can use.

modules you have attempted. The three levels indicate your performance as poor, average or good.

Performance Chakra: You have done really well in sub-modules marked in green, average in those in yellow and
poorly in those in pink. If a section is without a color, it means you did not answer enough questions in the
subsection to get an evaluation in it.
SECTION III: YOUR PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK
This section provides you a personalized feedback automatically generated by our artificial intelligence engine.
Based on your strong and weak areas in a module, it provides you with suggestions and tips to improve yourself.

English Comprehension

Your performance in English Comprehension is average. Our analysis says that you have good ability to read
and understand basic English. Now your aim should be to ace your skills in English, which is possible only
through continuous practice. Try to expand your vocabulary and continue to read English newspapers,
articles, magazine to become comfortable in this language. We are confident that if you keep working on
English, soon you would master this section. All the best!

Tips / Suggestions for You

Try to play Vocabulary games like Scrabble, Crossword, etc.

Observe what common errors are made in English and try to avoid them.
Read a newspaper regularly and some good magazines like India Today, Outlook, etc. After reading
the articles, try to write main points of the articles in order to check your understanding.

Quantitative Ability (Advanced)

Your performance in Quantitative Ability (Advanced) is average. According to our analysis, you have
mathematical bent of mind. Your basic concepts are clear in all relevant areas of Quantitative Ability.
However, you need to practice questions in each topic to attain higher level of performance. You do have the
potential to excel. You just need some determination and hard work. All the best!

Tips / Suggestions for You

You should practice quantitative ability questions under time constraint. This will also increase your
speed.
For permutation-combination, make sure you understand the situation mentioned in the question well
before application of any formula.
Learn all the critical definitions, formulae and concepts that appear in common questions.
Logical Ability

Your performance in Logical Ability is not upto the mark. According to our analysis, your deductive reasoning
skills are good. Deductive reasoning means the ability to deduce relationships and information from a set of
statements. You need to work hard on your inductive reasoning skills. It is the ability to spot patterns and
make generalizations. You also need to work hard on questions where you have to make an inference (or
decipher underlying assumption) based on a set of statements. A good way to tackle such questions is to
draw symbols representing entities in the questions and then checking for relationships. Once you have the
whole problem laid out on the paper using symbols, solving the questions becomes quite easy. We are sure if
you work hard, you would achieve a good score in this section. Good luck!

Tips / Suggestions for You

The only way to get better at inductive reasoning section is to practice lots of questions. So, pick up a
standard logical reasoning book and start practicing.
Abductive reasoning refers to being able to infer a course of action, derive a conclusion, infer
underlying assumptions, etc. to a given set of statements. These questions test your ability to take
decisions based on information in a real-world scenario. You should read analytical/business
magazines and newspapers to improve your abductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning questions are best solved using Venn diagrams. You can use your tenth standard
book (topic: set theory) to understand them.

Marketing

Your performance in Marketing is very good. According to our analysis, you have a good understanding of all
aspects of Marketing ranging from fundamentals, to Market Research, Planning and Strategy and Principles of
Economics all of which are closely linked and would be required by you as a marketing professional.
Marketing is a subject that requires you to have more real world knowledge and updates than theoretical
knowledge and to be a good marketing professional you need to constantly keep abreast of the happenings
in Indian and world economies. We suggest you to read articles, newspapers and business magazines to be
aware of current market trends. Another good way to learn the different styles of marketing and management
is by reading the experiences of marketing and advertising gurus. You should also get to know about the
success and failures of various enterprises (both large and small scale).

Human Resources

You need to put a lot of effort to improve your Human Resources skills. You need to build your HR skills, if you
want to make a place in this field. You should start from the basic concepts and then step by step keep
moving to advanced topics. Remember that only reading the concepts will not help, you have to understand
their implementation also. You should also try to read case studies to familiarize yourself with real life
corporate situations and the various ways in which they were/ can be handled. It is important to analyze
situations from all possible perspectives and come up with your own way of handling the situation. You can
then discuss the merits and demerits of the same with a more seasoned HR professional or your faculty. This
will help you in the long run. With your sincerity and hard work you will surely be able to ace this subject.
 Chapter IV. YOUR PERSONALITY

The purpose of this Chapter is to provide you an analysis of your personality and give you an insight in your
behavioral aspects. The analysis done is on the basis of your responses to AMPI (Aspiring Minds Personality
Inventory). AMPI is a reliable and valid personality test based on global standards.

Different sub-sections of this chapter are especially designed to provide a broad view on numerous aspects
related to your personality. This Chapter contains the following main sections:

Your Personality Score

Description of your personality
Your Personality type.

A word of caution: Trait scores of HIGH or LOW may not be equated to being GOOD or BAD. There are no
good or bad personalities. Secondly, this test or Chapter does not measure or indicate any psychological
disorder or otherwise. Every individual has a unique personality and this report provides an indication of the
same. Candidates with different personality combinations do well in handling different kind of situations and
perform well in different jobs. There is no absolute metric personality. Lastly, this Chapter is best interpreted
by a trained psychologist.

SECTION I: YOUR PERSONALITY SCORES

Your personality assessment shall be provided on the following traits:

These traits are based on the Big Five Model of personality, now globally accepted as the most scientific and
validated model of personality.

The table and figure below shows your Z-score and percentile in each trait. Each bar represents your Z-score in
a personality trait.
 Z-
Trait Region Percentile
score

Extraversion Low 14% -1.06

Conscientiousness Low 24% -0.71

Emotional Stability High 71% 0.54

Openness to
Medium 38% -0.3
Experience

Agreeableness Medium 37% -0.32

Polychronicity Medium 35% -0.39

Scores and Their Interpretation:

a. Fo r each trait, you have been classified as being LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH. It should be noted that this
classification is not an absolute one, but a relative one. These classifications are based on our national
norms on a sample of entry-level job aspirants. For instance, a person, who is high on Extraversion, is as
extraverted as the top 33% people in our norm group. He/she may not still be extraverted enough for a
given role or a standard set by another individual.
b. A low percentile does not mean bad performance and high percentile does not mean good performance,
as there is no concept of performance in personality.
c. For each trait, a Z-score is provided. The Z-score measures the number of standard deviations the score
is away from mean of norm. A Z-score more than +0.44 means the candidate is in the top 33%, whereas a
Z-score of less than -0.44 represents the candidate is in the lowest 33%.
d. This report is best interpreted by a psychologist. The candidate is strongly advised not to take any action
on the basis of this report without referring to a well-qualified psychologist.

SECTION II: DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PERSONALITY

This section provides you a detailed description of your personality traits.

Extraversion

Your score indicates you are Low on Extraversion.

Extraversion is defined as one's inclination towards the outer world. Individuals with high extraversion can be
characterized as social, talkative and assertive. They like the company of people and enjoy social gatherings.
They need external stimulation and get energized while interacting with people. They have lots of friends and
thrive for making new social contacts. They like to work in groups and prefer to lead others.

Your scores suggest that you do not like to interact with too many people and like to keep to yourself. You do not
like excitement seeking activities, and stimulations and thrills do not appeal to you. You enjoy spending time with
yourself. You prefer to work alone rather than in a group. You think before speaking or acting, and like to keep
your ideas to yourself.

Conscientiousness

Your score indicates you are Low on Conscientiousness.

Conscientiousness has been called by some psychologists as the Will to Achieve. It is generally seen to have two
components, one of striving for achievement and the other of dependability. The latter is characterized by being
thorough, organized and responsible. The former is related to volitional variables such as hardwork,
perseverance and orientation towards achievement.

You do not believe in lot of planning and are generally not very well-organized. You do not attend to every detail
minutely and do not hesitate in doing things off the plan, rules and schedules. You are not very disciplined in your
conduct of life. You are spontaneous at tasks and have low concentration level.

Emotional Stability

Your score indicates you are High on Emotional Stability.

Emotional stability refers to being in a state of psychological steadiness. Emotionally stable people are even
tempered and relaxed and they tend to have higher emotional intelligence. On the other hand, people low on
emotional stability are likely to experience negative emotions like anxiety, depression, embarrassment and
insecurity on small stimuli from the environment. These people have a tendency to exaggerate minor mutations.

You are generally calm and free of worry. You do not get upset or frustrated by the behavior of others and are
considered thick-skinned and secure. You rarely feel conscious or embarrassed in situations. You have high
satisfaction level and are happy from your life. You have control over your thoughts. You are mentally tough and
can handle tough situation easily.

Openness to Experience

Your score indicates you are Medium on Openness to Experience.

Openness to Experience is associated with being broad-minded, unconventional, having a rich artistic sensitivity
and being curious and imaginative. This has been a trait hard to identify and has been called as intellect, culture
or openness to experience by various psychometricians. Open individuals are creative, willing to challenge
authority and entertain new ideas. They have intuitive thinking and can adapt to change easily. They are
progressive and prefer to explore new ways and ideas of doing things.

You would be moderately interested in the aesthetics and your intensity of emotions and feelings is comparable
to most people. You seek a balance between the conventional path and experimentation with new ways. You are
generally open to new things. But if something crosses its limit, you'll never favor it. You are suspicious of anything
too much out of the way.

Agreeableness

Your score indicates you are Medium on Agreeableness.

Agreeableness refers to social conformity, friendliness, compliance and altruism. Agreeable people are
sympathetic to others, help others and trust others to help them too in return. They are popular amongst their
colleagues and do not believe in manipulating people. Agreeable people are good for customer relationship
profiles and work well in teams.

You are generally warm and agreeable, but also give as much importance to self-interest as most people do. You
understand others needs and want to help people, but not willing to give up yourself for them. At times, you can
be stubborn and competitive.

Polychronicity
Your score indicates you are Medium on Polychronicity.

The Multi-tasking trait is defined as the extent to which the person prefers to engage in more than one tasks
simultaneously and believes that this is a productive work style. Individuals high on this trait shall like to engage in
multiple activities at a given time, whereas those low shall prefer to just do one thing at a time. This trait measures
the personality disposition of a person to multi-task and does not measure the ability to do so.

You have a medium score on the multi-tasking scale. This shows that you neither have a strong preference nor
dislike for performing multiple tasks simultaneously. You are neither very inclined towards doing multiple tasks at
the same time, nor do you want to just handle one project at time. Whether or not you will succeed in a
polychronous environment depends largely on your ability to do so.
SECTION III: YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE
Based on your personality traits, your personality type is determined as below.

You are a "Adventurer"

Your personality can be characterized as adventurous, fearless and action-oriented. Believing in facts and
knowing that judgment and decisions should be made impartially are your strong qualities. You are fiercely
independent and practical with an excellent sense of expediency and grasp of details which enables you to
make quick, effective decisions.

You like to experiment with things and uncharted territories excite you. You can foresee the easiest and
most efficient route to complete a task, and do not waste your effort on unnecessary things. You are
capable of humorous insightful observations about the world around you. You are also impulsive and need a
career that will allow you to channelize spontaneity and energy within you in problem solving and fulfilling a
tangible, achievable goal.
 Chapter V. YOUR INDUSTRY AND JOB FIT

This chapter explains your job fit in various profiles in different industry sectors.

AMCAT is today used by leading corporations across the country to look for the right talent. Based our learning's

SECTION II: SUGGESTED TIME SCHEDULE

Based on your performance, we have come up with a time schedule. By following this time schedule, you can
ensure that you will continue to maintain your strong modules, while improve substantially in those that are
lacking.

The pie chart below, tells you about how much time you should ideally be spending on different modules. Always
remember, it is required to spend a fixed amount of time on all modules even though you might be strong in
them. Perfection is said to come from continuous practice.

And for the modules in which you might be lagging a bit, there is always time for improvement. So just put your
chin down and start working on them from today. It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime. What better
place than here, what better time than now?
We also provide you a time split for each section in the module. Based on your performance, we automatically
adjust times so that you spend more time on weak sub-sections in a module and less in others. This is contrary
to what students generally do! They keep doing questions which they are able to solve and do not attempt those
which they find tough. To improve your weak areas, you just need to do the opposite. Spend more time preparing
for weak areas, even if it takes more time to learn and practice it.

We hope that your performance analysis has helped you understand your strengths and weaknesses. Let us now
understand what your next steps should be.
 Chapter VII. NEXT STEP
